“Je détruis toute idole, et je n’ai pas de Dieu à mettre sur l’autel. Il faut avoir une bien piètre expérience de la vie pour oser croire à de pareilles foutaises.”
Minimal synthpunk project inspired by memories, ducks and Louis Guilloux’s books. “Je détruis toute idole, et je n’ai pas de Dieu à mettre sur l’autel. Il faut avoir une bien piètre expérience de la vie pour oser croire à de pareilles foutaises.” Cititrax is thrilled to present a split EP by two massive talents, Borusiade and The Sixteen Steps. Borusiade, originally from Bucharest, Romania began as a DJ in the early 2000s and then started producing music in 2005. With a background in classical music, she combined her love of raw electronics, obscure themes and melodic lines to create her own signature sound. She has released on the Cómeme label as well as Corresepondent. Infatuation and Confutation are dark, moody and intense tracks that catch you upon first listen. The flip side of the Promises and Infatuation EP features The Sixteen Steps, the brainchild of George Lanham who cut his musical teeth DJing and running events in the south of England. We have been listening to many of his tracks endlessly for a while now. They’ve also been a highlight of Veronica Vasicka‘s DJ sets as of late. Signals From The South and Promises On The Run are both immaculately produced, hypnotic, dance floor killers. They are sparse ebm meets smoky warehouse techno, and offer a wonderful contrast to Borusiade’s layered emotive tracks that reminisce of an East Village club in the 1980s. Themes of infatuation, appearances, and anonymity appear throughout this EP from the music itself right through to the cover art. Franco-spanish növö wave band Adan et Ilse formed in 2012 by Pedro aka HIV+ (lyrics, lead voices) and Michel aka Usher (music, backing vocals). They’ve been discovered by David Carretta on his famous label Space Factory, their tracks are on big dj’s lists, such as Dave Clarke, The Horrorist or Alexander Robotnick. They’ve been remixed by heads of electronic music (David Carretta, The Horrorist, Motor, John Lord Fonda, Christopher Kah, Haujobb, Cute Heels, Mike Theis, Electrosexual, In Death It Ends…), in 2015 they made a cover of SUICIDE cult band with GABI DELGADO from D.A.F. They are supported by Dominik Nicolas (ex-Indochine) and Etienne Daho himself, brought back electro clash on the french scene in 2012 with their first release “From The Waves” (Space Factory), then were acclaimed with the next releases too (“Sadisco”, “Sadisco r3mix3d”, “Birds fallen from Heaven” and “Cold Diamonds”) by both underground music critics and an audience in search of synth wave quality. This french növö wave duo release in 2016 their ultimate album called “Chirurgie Plastique” as a mix of Fad Gadget, Jacno, Front 242, Soft Cell or Clock Dva. Ex Fulgur are a 3 piece from Rennes France, with its roots in No-Wave, Post-Punk and Noise their sound is minimalist and dense. Dark and elegant. Sexy and cerebral and at times a little wobbly. DKA is proud to present the debut full-length LP from Brisbane, Australia’s Multiple Man. The twin-brother duo of Sean & Chris Campion, Multiple Man proves that two heads are better than one. Full-featured cinematic excess in the form of “8 NU TRACKS OF BURNING CHROME, CROSS CONTINENTAL HI-NRG, FIRM HANDSHAKE ELECTRONIC BODY MUSIC,” as the band describe it in their own words. It was mixed by Matt Weiner (TWINS/DKA/CGI Records) after having performed with the duo on both coasts of the United States in 2016. Welcome to the New Metal. |
